Day 25. 67 miles.

Today we met our first distance cyclist on the road. Aaron started pedalling from Los Angeles back in April. He hauled the same Bob trailer that served as the caboose on my bike, except he was carrying a whopping 120 pounds of gear (as a reference, Piper and I each carry about 75 pounds, including the weight of the bikes). He had all the frills--walkman and cassette tapes to listen to, multiple changes of clothing, and birkenstocks to wear while riding. On top of that, he had pedalled right through Colorado over the highest part of the Rockies. And he did it all without bike shorts. Wild.
